My first experience with a DRM Protected CD.

Jason Dunn has an experience with a Backstreet Boys CD where the DRM installs even of you decline the license. I won't comment on his choice of music, but shouldn't the user have control of their own computer?

Jason explains how to defeat the DRM so that you can make a copy of the music that you have legally purchased.

Of course as I've noted before, this would be illegal under proposed changes to copyright law in Canada, meaning that you would no longer have the right to use music that you purchased.

And this brings up even larger issues - if I buy a file, it's mine, isn't it? Why should it be anyone's business what I do with it?

The supermarket doesn't control how many glasses of milk I have to pour for my children each morning (thank god!) so why should the RIAA care what I do with the mp3s I download from iTunes?

Oh yeah, it's their business model.
